It was a very pleasent stay with two of my kids at a place catsitting. Nice city and trips to the surrounding nature with hills, caves and this fancy cathedral. We went to the cityhill with the towerclock and went downhill on a slide. That was fun.

Vienna, Solo travel

Stopped here for two days on a longer solo train trip through Eastern Europe and had an amazing time! Loved (and highly recommend) the cafe culture. Bring a book and relax. There’s no pressure to leave. Actually getting my server to bring my check so I could pay and leave was challenging lol Wonderful people with an easy to navigate metro system. Go to a classical concert and ride the world’s oldest Ferris wheel!

Vienna

Vienna is quite safe, but you still need to take safety precautions. Districts 10 and 21 are not very safe. In District 1 (the center), it is best to keep an eye on your pockets. In clubs, keep an eye on your drinks.

Leogang

While Leogang is a high Tourism area it is still really safe during the day as well as the night. There are taxis available during all hours of day and night. Bars rarely ever have problems with unruly people and most locals are kind and welcoming

Graz

I think as a local, that Graz is very safe, only at Night in some Parks you Need to take care of drugdealers. The Area around postgarage is a Little Bit creepy as a Woman.
